Definitions

  • Plant rearing system with a substrate carrier enclosed by a climatic container Plant rearing system with a substrate carrier enclosed by a climatic container
  • the invention relates to a plant cultivating system which has a substrate carrier on or in which a substrate for cultivating plants is arranged. Seeds and/or a seedling and/or a plant can be located on the substrate, with the substrate carrier being enclosed by a closed climate-controlled container.
  • a seed when cultivating plants, first a seed can be placed on a substrate which, after germination into seedlings or after the young plants have grown, is placed in a container on another substrate or in potting soil.
  • the different conditions that the seed, seedling or young plant need can be addressed during the different growth phases by planting the plants in appropriate conditions or by bringing the container into a room with appropriate conditions.
  • a plant can be packed in commercially available packaging film before being harvested or for sale, and part of the soil or substrate can also be packed if the plant is to remain fresh for longer.
  • packaging plants with or without soil or substrate there is a risk that the plant can become moldy or spoil inside the film if air regulation is not possible.
  • a closed climate cell is also known for the cultivation of plants, as described for example in DE 10 2016 121 126 B3.
  • plants can grow in several layers one on top of the other, with the climate cell being able to adapt the climate, for example the humidity, the temperature or the light conditions, to the respective growth conditions of the plant in the respective growth phase.
  • climate cells or also Greenhouses commonly used for growing plants are, however, stationary in one place, which means that the plant has to be planted there after sowing and removed for harvesting, with repotting into other containers or planting trays having been necessary up to now. Plant repotting requires knowledge of the particular plant in order to determine the optimum time for repotting, the appropriate soil and/or substrate, and how to handle the plant during repotting.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve a plant cultivating system in such a way that a plant can grow on a substrate carrier from sowing to harvesting, wherein the substrate carrier can also be transported and moved with the plant cultivating system during cultivating, and the plant has optimal growth conditions be offered.
  • the plant rearing system should protect the plant from mold or spoilage before the harvest time has come, despite the packaging, the packaging usually being a film.
  • the plant remains on a substrate carrier throughout the entire growth process, this has the further advantage that knowledge about the plant variety and the handling of the plant is only necessary at the beginning, namely when sowing and when determining the growth conditions of the respective growth phases of the plant. After this initial period, the plant can also be handled automatically by a robot or by unskilled helpers if the respective times for changing the growing conditions are recorded. The majority of the growth process can therefore be organized decentrally, for example in a climate cell, which can also be located at the harvest site.
  • a plant rearing system which has a substrate carrier and a climatic container.
  • the substrate carrier on or in which a substrate for growing plants is arranged, is completely surrounded by the climate-controlled container.
  • the plant, the seed or the seedling is applied to the substrate, in the following the term plant means any growth phase of the plant Seed, seedling, young plant, etc. includes.
  • Any substance can be used for the substrate of the substrate carrier, for example a hydromembrane, perlite, rock wool or coconut fibers.
  • the climatic container consists of a hydrofoil or has a hydrofoil and encloses the substrate carrier completely or completely, that is, the substrate carrier, including the substrate and plants, is located completely within the closed area of the climatic container.
  • the climate-controlled container is therefore designed as a closed climate-controlled container within the meaning of the invention.
  • the hydrofoil of the climate-controlled container is designed in such a way that a suitable and/or predetermined humidity level is maintained inside the climate-controlled container.
  • the humidity level can depend on the type of plant inside and/or its growth stage or the growing conditions required, so that the plant is optimally supported in its growth.
  • the hydrofoil preferably ensures that the moisture that the germs need to grow is sufficiently high within the climate-controlled container.
  • the suitable humidity level therefore corresponds to the good growth conditions required by the plant and/or the seedling in the present growth stage.
  • the plant rearing system can be used for rearing plants, ie for germinating seeds, rooting seedlings and/or for growing plants and/or young plants.
  • the plants can therefore go through several growth stages in the plant rearing system, always being applied to the same substrate support and preferably also the same substrate.
  • the substrate carrier can be surrounded by the closed climate-controlled container before and/or during the germination phase, with the seed, seedling or young plant growing inside the closed climate-controlled container, depending on the plant.
  • the plant raising system As soon as the plant raising system is formed, that is to say the substrate carrier is in the closed climatic container, the plant raising system can be transported, in which case it can be brought to a climatic cell, for example.
  • the climate cell can be any air-conditioned room in which plants can grow, i.e. a greenhouse climate-controlled room, a climate tower with mechanical handling of the plants, for example by robots, or a chamber in which the light and/or the climate is regulated by a control system depending on the plants housed there.
  • the packaging and/or the transport of the plant rearing system can take place before and/or during and/or shortly after the germination phase.
  • the seedlings and/or young plants are already anchored in the substrate with a root, but are still small, so that they can be packed in a space-saving manner.
  • several plant rearing systems can be packed in one transport box to ensure space-saving transport.
  • the climatic container of the plant growing system consists of a tray with a hydrofoil attached, the edge of the tray can also be used as a support surface for stacking the plant growing systems above it.
  • the plant rearing systems can be moved from the transport container to the climate cell either immediately or after a certain total transport time.
  • the plants can then grow to the intended harvest size, with the substrate carriers being able to be moved within the climatic cell so that the climatic conditions are better adapted to the respective growth stage of the plants. For harvesting, the plants are removed from the substrate carriers.
  • the air-conditioned container can preferably consist of a trough, which on the open side has a peripheral edge that is preferably parallel to the floor or a protruding edge, to which the hydrofoil can be attached.
  • the hydrofoil can be glued onto the edge or the edge so that the peripheral edge or the edge is at the same time the contact surface for the hydrofoil.
  • the support surface can also be used to stack the air-conditioned containers, with the upper layer being able to be positioned on the support surface of the lower layer.
  • the climatic container can consist of a hydro-bag, that is to say a bag which consists partly or entirely of a hydro-film, with the hydro-bag completely enclosing the substrate carrier and the plants.
  • a hydro-bag that is to say a bag which consists partly or entirely of a hydro-film, with the hydro-bag completely enclosing the substrate carrier and the plants.
  • the hydrobag or its interior can be under a certain pressure so that it swells up and the plants growing on the substrate in the substrate carrier are not pressed or restricted in their growth.
  • the plant raising system is preferably designed in such a way that the plants can be reared, in particular the germination of the seeds and/or the growth of the seedlings, while the plant raising system is being transported.
  • the climatic container can be designed in such a way that it can be easily stacked, so that several plant rearing systems can be placed on top of and/or next to one another.
  • the climatic container ensures the necessary climatic conditions for growing the plants, in particular sufficient humidity, during transport.
  • the seedlings on the substrate within the climate-controlled container preferably already have a small root at the time of transport, so that they are firmly anchored in the substrate and do not slip back and forth on it when moved slightly. Therefore, there are preferably a few days between sowing and transport, this period of time depending on the plant variety.
  • the substrate carrier of the plant cultivation system is preferably shaped and/or constructed in such a way that the plant remains on the same substrate carrier throughout its growth process. This means that the seed is placed on the substrate when sowing, germinates there, the seedling grows on the same substrate support and then the plant grows on it. It is therefore not necessary to transplant the plant during the growth process or between different growth stages, for example after germination or after the first leaves have appeared.
  • the plant can thus be transported with the substrate carrier and/or, after being transported within a climatic cell, can be brought to different locations with different climatic conditions, without the plant itself having to be handled directly.
  • the hydrofoil of the climatic container of the plant-growing system preferably contains a number of holes which allow gas exchange.
  • the hydrofoil which is part of the climatic container and can be applied, for example, to a trough of the climatic container or from which the climatic container is made can exist, has holes and/or is perforated in order to exchange CO2 and O2 with the environment. A hole spacing of approx. 50 mm is particularly preferably maintained. This helps prevent mold inside the climate container and allows high humidity levels to be maintained without affecting the seedlings and plants.
  • the holes in the hydrofoil can be lasered.
  • the hydrofoil or the hydrobag is particularly preferably recyclable, ie it can either be used several times or, after being used once, can be processed into new hydrobags or hydrofoils.
  • the substrate carrier and/or the climatic container of the plant cultivation system are preferably provided with a machine-readable label.
  • the label particularly preferably contains at least data which is helpful for automated handling of the plants, in particular for transporting the plant rearing system and/or during a growth process of the plants in a climate cell.
  • the day of sowing, the plant variety, the date for moving the substrate carrier to and/or within the climatic cell and the day of harvest are preferably included.
  • all appointments that require steps for handling the substrate carrier or the plants are preferably encoded.
  • Automated handling means that no more decisions have to be made during this time, i.e. a machine, robot or unskilled worker can carry out the work according to an already established plan or according to already established criteria.
  • the steps that must be carried out after a certain period of time after sowing include, for example, packing the substrate carrier in the climate container, transporting the plant cultivation system to a climate cell, moving the substrate carrier from the climate container to the climate cell, moving the substrate carrier within the climate cell a different growth zone, since the plants on the substrate carrier need different growth conditions for their current stage, and the day when the substrate carrier can be removed from the climate cell, either to harvest the plant or to transport it to another location for harvesting bring.
  • a robot or another machine can thus determine by reading the label when the substrate carrier has to be moved where, for example to a new level in the climate cell, out of the climate cell or into the climate cell.
  • people who handle the substrate carrier who may also be unskilled as a result, can read the label and receive information on the further course of growth of the plant.
  • Information on the variety of the seed, the nature of the plant in different stages of growth, or the final place of use can also be stored digitally on the label.
  • the label of the plant growing system can be read by all relevant places in the course of the plant's growth process, for example the transfer robot in the climate cell, transport companies and workers in the climate cell.
  • the machine-readable label can then be used, for example, to postpone the date for unpacking the substrate carrier from the climate-controlled container after transport and transfer to the climate-controlled cell if the plant rearing system arrives at the climate-controlled cell too early and the plant is therefore not yet the required size or required reached the growth phase for the climate cell.
  • the invention also includes a transport box for a plant raising system, wherein several plant raising systems are or can be arranged on top of and/or next to each other in the transport box.
  • the climate-controlled containers in the transport box can be separated from one another with separating layers, or the hydrofoil, which is either glued to the trough of the climate-controlled container or from which the climate-controlled container is made, is stretched in such a way that the substrate carriers are prevented from falling into one another.
  • the climate container consists of a tub with hydrofoil glued to it, the hydrofoil and the edge or edge of the tub form the floor for the layer of climate containers above, so that one tub each rests on the hydrofoil or the edge or edge of the layer below standing.

  • the plants or seedlings in the plant rearing system can remain in the transport box for 0 to 72 hours, but also longer.
  • the climate container ensures the right growth and germination climate for the plants during transport.
  • the transport box preferably contains internal lighting, in particular at least one battery-operated LED. If the seedlings in the climate container prefer a dark climate, for example because the plant variety usually germinates underground, the transport box can remain dark.

It is important that the temperature always remains above freezing and below 40°C. Exceptions can only be made here for plants that tolerate frost or need a short frost in their germination phase.
  • the temperature can also be set in the transport vehicle. If no such air-conditioned transport is available, with the transport vehicle in which the transport box is transported being air-conditioned, the transport box can regulate the air-conditioning itself. Both active climate control can take place, for example by cooling or heating the transport box or the inside of the transport box after a temperature measurement, or passive climate control through appropriate selection of material for the outer walls of the transport box and appropriate insulation of the packaging.

In the climate cell, the plant can be harvested from the climate cell directly after the end of its growth, ie after reaching a predetermined size and/or the predetermined harvest time. Alternatively, however, the substrate carrier can also be brought to a place of consumption, for example a canteen or a restaurant or a market or a sales hall, before harvesting. For this purpose, too, the substrate carrier can be packaged in a climate-controlled container, which, however, must be designed for the higher plants and therefore preferably differs from the climate-controlled container described above, at least with regard to its dimensions.
  • the plant can grow on the substrate support for a few days before it is packed in the climate-controlled container. Depending on the plant variety, this can take two to four days, preferably in any case until the first root of the seedling has formed. As soon as the seedlings have formed a first small root so that they gain a foothold on the substrate, the substrate carrier with the seedlings can be packed into the climate container and thereby form the plant cultivation system.
